Use Keysight’s basic RF instruments to measure and analyze ASK/FSK modulated signals commonly used in a variety of products and systems, ranging from personal consumer electronics and automatic meter reading, to giant industrial devices.

This application note focuses on solutions for the issues that create risks in the integration of mixed-signal systems with a mix of software and hardware tools. Examples focus on measurements of error vector magnitude (EVM), which is a key figure of merit for modulated signals implemented in either analog or digital form.

This application note reviews some of the latest test equipment for radar, EW & ELINT systems. Since this is a complex subject, we begin with a brief review of the fundamental radar and EW/ELINT challenges.

For applications that require more than two channels, a built-in synchronization feature allows for synchronizing two 81180A arbitrary waveform generators to create a fully synchronized 4-channel system.
